Pakistan recently asked Greece whether it was ready to sell an unspecified number of F16 fighters, but the reply has been a firm “No” keeping in mind the needs of the Hellenic Air Force and also, Athens’ friendship with New Delhi. Greece has a slightly uneasy relationship with Turkey, also a NATO member and there is also uncertainty about the war in Ukraine.

The Pakistan Air Force’s best fighter aircraft is the F16, but most of the 80-odd are the older AM-Block 15 and the BM-Block 17 versions. Greece, on the other hand, has the newer F16C and the F16D versions. They are also Block 52. And now, 83 of the 150odd F16s are being upgraded to the latest Block 72 variant.

Pakistan’s requirements come as the United States has provided $US450 million in spares and also, other implements, but provided no new fighters. The US has proved spares and other equipment and with the spares at hand, Pakistan had hoped to get new weapons.

Greece is one of the few countries that have the F16 and the Rafale. Which is of interest to India and the Indian Air Force chief, Air Chief Marshal VR Chowdhary’s trip to Athens is pending.

that is a stupidity only indians can pull.

Greece and Pakistan are on the opposite sides,
to the extent that greece has accused pakistan of providing pilots to the turkish airforce.
There is absolutely, no freaking way any such request could ever be made.

but sure pagans can pull anything.

Agree with you 100%, please do return the exact same Soybeans that your BB accepted before we can release the jets.

Greece is upgrading all of its PW-equipped F-16s, the only ones left are the GE-equipped ones. However, I don't think the PAF is interested in those planes. It's hunting for various PW-equipped variants, e.g., Block-25, 32, 42, and 52. IIRC, it's pretty much just the U.S. that has most of these airframes. If the PAF can get into the AMARG and grab 2-3 squadrons, it'd be ideal.

Actually true news.

PAF is looking for used f16 as Biden gave a green signal 6 months ago.

PAF is trying to get 2-3 squadrons.

India knows this too and is pushing to counter it

New f16s won't pass from congress due to Indian lobbying

Everything you mentioned is accurate, except for the first statement.

Pakistan knows better than to go to Greece for that option be it India's relations with Greece or Turkey's issues with Greece.
